Re: Freezing / lagging during thumbnail creation

klownboy, thank you for your help in this thread. Your willingness to help without harshness is most appreciated. I used your feedback and searched the forums for examples to create a script that starts at the selected image path in the tree, descends through all sub folders and creates #1 thumbnail...

Re: File list not updated when externally modified

I experienced the same issue with XY. At some point in the updates to 20.80, the tree and list refresh broke. The issue persists in 20.90. I downloaded 20.70.0000 from the freezer, installed it and the tree and list are refreshed as expected.

Re: Freezing / lagging during thumbnail creation

highend & klownboy, I created a toolbar button to run this script to create thumbnails in new instance of XY (option to create all thumbnails at once must be ticked): $command = <<<>>> "<xy>" /path="<curpath>" /new /script="::#306;wait 200;exit 'n';" >>>; run $comma...

Re: Freezing / lagging during thumbnail creation

Thank you, highend. I guessed this is to be coded as a script, so I copied the code into my file run.xys in the roaming Scripts folder, changed the path, then typed load "run.xys"; into the address bar, hit the enter key and the script ran as expected [with XYplorer in C:\Program Files (x8...

Re: Freezing / lagging during thumbnail creation

When I used this text line, it failed. A message box flashes on the screen but I am unable to capture it nor read what it states. Can we assume it would be the file not found thing? Update: I uninstalled XY from "C:\Program Files (x86)" and installed it in "C:\XYplorer" and the s...

Re: Freezing / lagging during thumbnail creation

OK! Before I tested this, I did delete *all* files from my cache folder. I chose a folder with several thousand images, a 2nd instance of XY was created and thumbnails began to generate. I can navigate the system in instance 1. However, after creating all thumbnails, the thumbnails were created a 2n...

Re: Freezing / lagging during thumbnail creation

I tried what you suggested, but the outcome is the same. The screen flashes, an XY icon flashes in the tray, then nothing else happens. I monitored task manager and there is only one instance of XY running and it is idle.

Re: Freezing / lagging during thumbnail creation

Thanks klownboy. I tried the line with my image path and the window flashes (as if it became the inactive window) but nothing else seems to happen. At least I am not getting scripting errors. I downgraded to 20.70 since 20.80.0500+ will not consistently refresh file operations. If I try background p...

Re: Freezing / lagging during thumbnail creation

I've tried everything I can think of and I still get the script error. Thanks so much for your help, but I kinda give up.
